A member asked:
Can i use "pred forte" eye drops and "maxidex" ointment for my red eyes and also having itching in my eyes.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have you used: these drops before? One needs to use steroids in the eye carefully and under supervision of an eye care provider. Red eyes can come from a number of causes such as allergy, dry eye, inflammation, or infection. I would start with artificial tears or anti-allergy drops first and if they don't help seek eye care for further diagnosis and treatment. Good luck!
